    About this audiobook

    Think about it, a simple gesture of kindness can make a difference in your day, no matter how small the act.

    Thank volunteers for their kindness with this beautiful book.

    Promote the power of kindness in your work place or school. Not only does it make life more enjoyable, it is also good for you.

    Pass It On! Kindness is like a snowball that's rolling down a hill. Each unselfish act or word is another snowflake that greets the others. . .creating something much larger than itself in the process.

    I once heard someone say, "If you teach your children the Golden Rule, you will have left them an incalculable estate." Truer words were never spoken. More than anything, the Golden Rule is about kindness. Kindness and honesty make you feel good about yourself and create trust in others. They improve your relationship with yourself and with others. It's not much in fashion these days to talk about the benefits of kindness, honesty and decency, but the benefits are there and they are valuable and worth the trouble.

    In fact studies have shown committing acts of kindness is actually good for your health. A rush of euphoria, followed by a longer period of calm after performing a kind act, is often referred to as a "helper's high," involving physical sensations and the release of the body's natural painkillers, endorphins. This initial rush is then followed by a longer-lasting period of improved emotional well-being.

    Just reading stories of other's acts of kindness will bring you joy and it is a wonderful message to share with friends or volunteers who have shown you kindness. Spread some kindness today...because nice matters!
